This 4-day pre-recorded webinar provides a general introduction to the why and how of Expressive Play Therapy: a holistic and integrative approach to Play Therapy that addresses in concrete terms the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual needs of children in therapy.
During the first two days we will consider the function and description of children’s art and play through the developmental stages. We will also explore the theoretical framework of Expressive Play Therapy and the major components of this approach that incorporate the relationship, the milieu, a wide variety of expressive therapies, and whenever possible, family therapy.
During the other two days, we will address the guiding principles of child-centered play therapy, the intake process, setting up a playroom, how to structure a play therapy session, when to lead and when to follow, and the issue of permissiveness and limits. This lecture material will be illustrated in concrete terms as we view and discuss a video taped play therapy session.
This 4-day pre-recorded webinar provides the foundational knowledge for the more advanced play therapy topics addressed in further webinars and seminars.
To improve the viewing experience of the video recording, some experiential expressive art and play activities have been edited. However, the group instructions and group debriefing with related comments and questions have been included, thus allowing participation if desired.
